The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump that can shut down without warning and cut drive power, and a 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat that can overheat and start a fire.
The fuel pump issue can leave the vehicle without power while moving, raising the risk of a collision. The wiring concern involves a ground connection that is not properly secured, allowing it to overheat and potentially ignite nearby materials. There is also a structural concern: rear door window trim bars can detach while driving and become road hazards for other vehicles or pedestrians nearby.
